DIMENSIONS, PROPERTIES, &.C., OF

SECTIONS.!
•
Dimensions and Properties.-Complete tables are given of
dimensions and properties of the vanous sections
illustrated.

The areas and properties have been carefully

calculated on correct pl'ofiles, and full sections without
i holing; all fillets, rounded corners, taper of flanges,
I
'r &c., being taken into consideration.

Least Radius of Gyration.-The least radius of gyration

, has been determined for all sections, and will be
'found in the tables.

In sections such as I beams, channels, tees and

i,
I equal angles, which have an axis of symmetry, this
radius is either about that axis or one at right angles
to it. In the case of unequal angles, bulb 'angle's
and zed bars, having no axis of symmetry, the
position of the axis, about which the radius is least,
has been calculated and is given in the tables; this
axis being marked in the diagram "minor' axis."
